Best album they've done. Hell of a statement I know, but I stand by it.
Of all the UK bands that began circa 1990, these boys are the only ones still doing the business and keeping it new. OK, I suppose you could put Blur in that category, but I've never been a huge fan - I don't dislike them, I just don't go out of my way for them. Oasis need to start from square one again. Alright, there's Teenage Fanclub as well, but they've never acheived the commercial success of Radiohead.
So I'm saying that commercial success defines a bands overall success? No, not really, but you know what I mean, it's hard for a band to be big AND keep things new.
I'm talking decent bands too.
I suppose there's Primal Scream?
and The Orb.
Errr....shit...OK, scrap the above...'Hail To The Thief' is still Radiohead's best album so shut it.
